Enzo Maresca's side head to Philadelphia for matchday two in Group D, with Chelsea coming up against Brazilian side Flamengo, who are managed by former Blues defender Filipe Luis. The familiarity extends to Jorginho, who recently joined from Arsenal.
"It will be a very difficult game, we know their quality, and we will prepare for this great game," Jorginho said when previewing Friday's fixture.
On Chelsea, he added: "They are dynamic players, with physical power. They will try to leave playing from behind, you break lines, open the field to be able to run, which is what they try to do. And we have to try to make them not do that."
